EL PLATONEEKA – Restaurant

Nicaraguan home cooking runs the show at this SW 147th Avenue counter in Miami, where nacatamal is available every day for eight dollars alongside gallo pinto as a standard side. Angus-certified carne asada anchors the heartier plates, and reviewers keep pointing to it as the dish worth the trip, calling the cooking rich in flavor and true to the country's home-kitchen roots. Daily lunch specials run $7.50 with a drink included, and an early-bird deal runs Monday through Thursday from 3 to 6pm. Dine-in, takeout and delivery are all available. It's open every day of the week, 9am to 9pm.
